So far so good! This will create 4 separate tops. The trick is keeping them all the same height. You may have to top your two main stems to slow it down, but you're right on point.

Lower leaves too pale or yellowing?I am noticing the lower leaves of my Royal Critical Automatic to be much more pale green than the top of the plant.
Is this a nutrient/light/watering/lst stress problem if at all?

When stop LST?First time grower here. Have been doing LST, and it seems to work well. I've just spotted pistols, so she is starting to flower now. So my question is, should I stop LST? Should I remove the (padded) wires? Or, when do I stop? Or should I keep LST until I harvest the flowers?Techniques. LST

It's my first grow so I'm a bit scared to start LSTing it, i mostly waited for it to grow higher and then do some LST but since she get bushier than higher I don't really know what to do.

Can I start LST and defoliation?5y ago

Did a round of LST/Tucking last night, woke up to a fully broken off top growth of the main stem, effectively topping it(?). Is there anything I can/should do?

Did I start LST too early?At day 22, did I start LST too early? I feel that I may have stunted the growth a little from overheating, but didn't want to wait too long to start training. Also, would a higher-powered light cause less distance between the nodes, and therefore make LST harder/less effective?4y ago
